The Flyers and Capitals will battle tonight for last place in the Eastern Conference. The Capitals have just three points through their first seven games while the Flyers are not faring much better as they only have four points through the first seven games. For the first time in years, the problem is not the goaltending. In fact, the goaltending has been the strongest part for the Flyers through the early part of the season. Flyers coach Peter Laviolette compared Bryzgalov’s play to that of a pitcher who does not get any run support. If there is a city in the United States that can relate to that analogy, it is certainly Philadelphia.The Flyers are not scoring and captain Claude Giroux is struggling early one. After scoring in each of the first two games Giroux has not found the back of the net in his last five games and has just four points after posting 93 points last season. Laviolette has tried a number of line combinations with Giroux but an injury to Scott Hartnell and some underwhelming play from Brayden Schenn has made it tough on the coach.The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Sam Carchidi is reporting that tonight Laviolette will unveil some new line combinations to hopefully kick start the dormant offense. The top line will be Danny Briere and Wayne Simmonds on the wings with Giroux in the middle. Matt Read and Mike Knuble will be the wings on the second line with Sean Couturier centering them. Schenn will center Tye McGinn and Jake Voracek. On the fourth line it will be Max Talbot in the middle with Ruslan Fedotenko and Zac Rinaldo on either side of him.The Flyers, and their fans, hope that these new combinations will get the team back on the winning track tonight in Washington.-Steve DolanFollow Steve on Twitter @SDolan3Follow Whiz Wit on Twitter @WhizWitSports
